A revisit to a poorly understood Plesiosaur, Thililua longicollis from the Lower Turonian of Goulmima morocco. No mention of formation but have to believe its the Akrabou Formation of the Kem Kem beds http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/5/3/172177 @-Andy- @LordTrilobite @Seguidora-de-Isis

Hi. I saw these fossils online labelled as unidentified claws. There are two different claw,first one is finer. Does anyone have a clue of what they could be from with the given information? Carcharodontosaurus??? All comments really help. Thanks alot.

I took delivery of a nice big box of Kem Kem junk bits today, and have spent the afternoon sorting them. Some really nice croc & fish jaw pieces, some big bits of scute, various small vertebrae, scales etc etc. But as usual, there are a few interesting bits which defy ID for me. I'd be grateful if anyone has any opinions on these bits: 1. I'm wondering if this is some kind of fish skull/jaw element? 2. No idea what these are, but there's two of them, and they're the same but mirrored. Fish perhaps? 3. Two of these too. I know I've seen them before somewhere! Not actually hoping for an ID on this one (I assume it's a juvenile croc jaw?) but posting it because it's very cute. Likewise with this big bit of crocodile scute! Here's a couple of pictures of some of the stuff I'm sorting. I love going through these bits, even if many of them are destined to remain mysteries for now. Thanks.

Quite a large specimen even for this quite big species. The length given is of the animal along the centre of its back, not the diameter.

Hi all. I saw this online for quite cheap,but I don’t know all the pieces in this batch.They are from Begaa,Morocco. I can see spino teeth,onchopristis teeth,fish vertebra but that’s about it. Does someone know what is the big tooth fragment? Carc.? I’ll number them so you can tell me if you know. Really appreciate it.

So I am trying to add a new trilobite to the collections. I have recently become the proud owner of a rather new and uncommon species of trilobite. It is presently listed as a Koneprusites sp. I don't come from the world of research academia, and am not particularly skilled at finding published papers pertaining to specific species. I am wondering if one of our trilobite experts could point me in the direction of some research materials and perhaps an author citation for the Koneprusites. Any info would be greatly appreciated. @piranha, perhaps you have some thoughts? Thank you all in advance!

Kem Kem Coprolite?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good Night to everyone from my favorite Forum! I'm very curious about this specimen. According to the seller's description, this is a coprolite discovered in beds of Kem Kem. This is real? Is it from a carnivore or herbivore? Could it be a dinosaur? -

Hi all, Anyone have any clue what this is? Both the standowner and I were perplexed at what it could be... It's from Kem Kem, Morocco. (Unfortunately, I can't post more pics, in case needed, because I didn't buy it... I somehow have the feeling I'm gonna regret not having bought it!) I am curious to see what this is! Max

I bought this partial vertebrae about a week ago from a moroccan dealer for a very good price (I'm currently trying to identify many vertebrate fossils from Kem Kem, and this is somewhat a pause between two spinosaurid caudal vertebrae and a very big crocodilian mandible articular bone). Since many of you are way more experienced than me regarding moroccan vertebrae, I'm searching for more opinions. This small/medium sized specimen lacks most of the processes, but has some recognizable elements. It is laterally compressed and has a small keel running in its ventral region. I identified It as a caudal vertebrae, and the dealer told me it was a theropod. I don't think he had the skills to seriously identify anything, and I can't understand if It really is a theropod or a crocodile.

Hi all, This little bone piece from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco is one of the things I bought at a fossil fair this weekend for a small price. I know that Kem Kem ID is really tricky, so I am not expecting a definite species as an answer. But knowing a bit more precisely what kind of animal it came from would be nice to know. I can always make more pictures if needed. Thanks in advance for your help! Max
